Hi, I’m Will, and my wife Lucia and I shoot all of these weddings together (DISCLAIMER: it’s only 98% – occassionally I’m on my own, and a couple of weddings I’ve brought another photographer along when Lucia was unavailable).

A few quick facts about me:

  • My father built a darkroom in our basement, and I started developing black and white film before I hit puberty.
  • I went to photography camp when other kids were hiking or playing soccer. I was that much of a dork.
  • I had a year when Lucia and I lived in between San Diego and Los Angeles where I photographed close to one hundred weddings. The West Coast was great for developing my own style, as there weddings all year long!
  • My wedding style has been called Authentic, Genuine, and Cinematic, and one couple said their wedding images looked like stills from a Hollywood movie.
  • And I’d still rather be photographing your wedding than hiking or playing soccer.

Anyway, Lucia and I would love to talk with you about your own wedding, and we hope you like these galleries!
